King of Assassins-Chapter 871 - 626: Tension (Part 3)

Gao Xuan knew Yuan Youyuan was watching him again, so he held up one finger to signal this was the first match.

The second opponent had already arrived.

This opponent was also wearing a deep black battle armor, holding a broadsword five feet long.

The broadsword looked massive, with a somewhat special design. This person had a height of nearly two meters and three, making the giant sword seem proportionately fitting in his hand, without a hint of unwieldiness.

The burly man also engaged in conversation, and as soon as the match began, he swung his sword.

The man's arm span was particularly long, and with the five-foot longsword, he could slash up to nine feet ahead with a mere extension. Furthermore, his steps were large and quick.

A move of chopping down truly possessed some of the momentum of wind and thunder.

Gao Xuan dared not take it head-on; the ordinary longsword in his hand would shatter upon contact with the opponent's. Moreover, though his physique was quite decent, it was still considerably lacking compared to the opponent's innate divine power.

The burly man's sword forced Gao Xuan to retreat, and he swung the giant sword in his hand. Streams of bright sword light formed a large net, continually shrinking toward Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan evasively maneuvered, avoiding over ten sword strikes, and just as the opponent swung again, Gao Xuan suddenly crossed his sword to parry.

The dual swords clashed, and Gao Xuan's longsword immediately broke. The man seized the opportunity, twisting his longsword for a stab, nearly concluding Gao Xuan's fate.

In the gap, Gao Xuan prompted the Bright Moon Sword, piercing the man's forehead first.

The seventh grade Bright Moon Sword was exceptionally sharp. Ordinary battle armor couldn't withstand a strike from the Bright Moon Sword.

The third opponent, the fourth opponent, were all dealt with by Gao Xuan using the same tactic.

Yuan Youyuan found it somewhat amusing; Gao Xuan kept using the same move. However, that move was indeed effective.

Because when dual swords clash, both sides directly contest their power. No matter how strong the opponent's power is, they inevitably suffer a shock. Following up with a change in move, Gao Xuan would then deploy the flying sword, making mistakes nearly impossible.

Moreover, opponents are randomly matched in the arena. Gao Xuan's opponents were encountering him for the first time, with no defense against that tactic.

Flying sword or not, the distance difference is vast. Without playing tricks, Gao Xuan had a considerable chance of victory using just the Bright Moon Sword.

At this moment, on the platform, Gao Xuan raised four fingers at Yuan Youyuan, indicating a four-win streak.

Yuan Youyuan wanted to remind Gao Xuan that the main system would surely match him with stronger opponents, so he couldn't be complacent now.

The fifth opponent took the stage, wearing silver Holy Armor, clearly a master from the Holy Hall.

The Holy Hall had too many people; Yuan Youyuan couldn't even recognize all the Cloud Light Sanctuary people and didn't know who the opponent was.

This person had a long golden sword spine on the Profound Origin Sword, evidently a specially refined sword artifact—making it not to be trifled with.

This person was quite polite; he also noticed Gao Xuan's Holy Hall affiliation. He didn't say a word but cupped his hands in salute.

Gao Xuan also responded with a salute.

Though the opponent's posture was polite, it wasn't as they engaged in combat.

The Profound Origin Sword with the golden spine lightly stabbed, and Yuan Youyuan heard a hissing sound; it was as if an invisible barrier of air was pierced.

The sound wasn't a real noise but rather the Source Power fluctuation caused by sword qi agitation. To expert eyes, it was naturally audible.

Yuan Youyuan's heart tightened, how quickly the sword moved.

The opponent's sword speed wasn't just quick; their sword artifact was also extremely sharp. With every strike, it had such power.

Gao Xuan repeated the old trick, again swinging his sword to meet it.

The dual swords clashed, the opponent's sword edge turned, and Gao Xuan's longsword silently snapped.

At the same time, the Bright Moon Sword transformed into silver sword light, shooting toward the opponent's forehead.

Just before the Bright Moon Sword pierced the opponent's transparent face armor, a golden sword light emerged, blocking the Bright Moon Sword.

Silver sword light and golden sword light intertwined, erupting in clusters of golden light and silver sparks.

The spectator Yuan Youyuan's heart tightened; the opponent also had a flying sword and seemed prepared. Gao Xuan's lethal kill move was thwarted, the situation was dire indeed.

The Bright Moon Sword was blocked by the opponent's flying sword while their Profound Origin Sword continued to stab.

The golden spine Profound Origin Sword transformed into a golden line, stabbing straight ahead, its sharpness suppressing the two interweaving flying sword lights.

Gao Xuan quickly retreated just before the Profound Origin Sword could reach him, the distance perfectly avoiding the sword.

But this retreat allowed the opponent's sword momentum to flourish. The next strike would be even stronger.

Yuan Youyuan's expression became more tense; without some heaven-defying method, this sword meant certain defeat for Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan's opponent thought the same and proceeded confidently, advancing with sword control for another stab.

Both parties' Source Power auras entwined, making it nearly impossible for Gao Xuan to evade the direct stab.

At that moment, deep blue divine light flashed over Gao Xuan's body, instantly equipping the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Holy Armor.

The deep blue Holy Armor, bright and pure deep blue Holy Light, emitted a captivating radiance.

Simultaneously, on Gao Xuan's left arm, an oval electromagnetic shield about a foot in diameter appeared.

The electromagnetic shield composed of translucent blue and white electric light appeared transparent like glass, yet its internal electromagnetic Source Power structure was incredibly stable and robust.

Gao Xuan pushed and turned his left arm, deflecting the gold-spined Profound Origin Sword that stabbed fiercely.

The opponent sensed the danger, but it was somewhat late. Gao Xuan slapped his arm shield forward, hitting the opponent's face squarely.

The transparent face armor was immediately covered in countless cracks. The terrible impact force from the electromagnetic shield caused the person to tremble all over. The greater harm came from the electromagnetic force on the shield, leaving streaks of flashing electric light on the opponent's battle armor.

Though the electric light didn't penetrate the opponent's protective Holy Armor immediately, it rendered the Holy Armor half incapacitated.
